z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

*
* This implementation is based on zbud written by Seth Jennings.
*
* z3fold is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It
* can store up to three compressed pages per page which improves the
* compression ratio of zbud while retaining its main concepts (e. g. always
* storing an integral number of objects per page) and simplicity.
* It still has simple and deterministic reclaim properties that make it
* preferable to a higher density approach (with no requirement on integral
* number of object per page) when reclaim is used.
*
* As in zbud, pages are divided into "chunks". The size of the chunks is
* fixed at compile time and is determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below.
*
* z3fold doesn't export any API and is meant to be used via zpool API.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.

* struct z3fold_pool - stores metadata for each z3fold pool
z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ...

The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...

E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.
